Lyrics
Oh babe, don't lie lonesome after I'm gone Don't mourn your young life away Just lower me down with a prayer and a song Just 'fore the breaking of day Just 'fore the breaking of day Well, it's a life worth the living but we all gotta die All your crying can't do me no good Just lower me down with a quick sad goodbye Pour in the black Texas mud Pour in the black Texas mud It's a hard road you're travelin', you can't walk it alone Find a big man to stand beside you Take him down to the river, show him my bones Tell him there lies a friend I once knew There lies a friend I once knew Well, the black crow's a-screaming, the yellow sun's warm And the grass tumbles tall down the hill There's a cold wind building, it's bringin' a storm When the call of the black crow goes still When the call of the black crow goes still
